I understand that it's difficult, especially without a garage to work in...and in the winter time. I'd sit on it a while, into the spring and see how you feel then. £3k is a fair wack to spend, what did the 144 require to justify that?

a big big reason to sell is - no garage, no time, no money, no drive, only car
I will come back to old cars one day - when kids have grown up and I have a bit of space to do it
